#0.1# gallons per second or #6# gallons per minute depending on what the question wants the unit rate to be...

Unit rate =measurement/time

Measurement=#42# gallons

Time=#7#

#therefore# Unit rate = #42/7=6# gallons per minute

Or if you want in seconds, change the mins to seconds. There are 60 seconds in a minute

#therefore# #7xx60=420# seconds

Unit rate = #42/420=0.1# gallons per second
